Our regular RE teach ers have agreed to hold online meetings for each class for the next three weeks (March 22\, March 29\, and April 5) as follows:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 10: 30 AM: Green class\, Ecojustice class\n 11:30 AM: Red and Yellow classes combined\,\n 11:30 AM: Blue classes\n 12:30 PM: Neighboring Faith Commun ities class\n SHYG: to be determined by SHYG advisors\, but probably 6:30 PM\n\n\nThe teachers for each class will email all registered families wi th links to the online meetings. If you have a child registered in any of the above classes\, keep a lookout for an invitation on Thursday or Friday to an online meeting on Sunday.\n\nPlease note that these online meetings are only intended for our families who are already registered with UUCPA' s CYRE program. If you would like to invite a friend to one of these meeti ngs\, please ask them to email Dan Harper at DanHarper@uucpa.org by the Friday prior to the Sunday when they would like to join.
